    The Issue of Cattle on Public Lands

    It would be ignorant to say livestock don't impact wildlife on public lands, some spring through fall grazing times most years is minimal, draught years, yes. We recognize the need to Cut numbers and leave grass banks, and have working water source projects done. But the wildlife also need...

    The Issue of Cattle on Public Lands

    There are about 99% of private property owners that don't own the leases behind their property. 90% of the time there is another way to get to that public land , it takes more effort and you may not be able to drive into it, but for those hunters willing to work at it, It's usually well...

    The Issue of Cattle on Public Lands

    I do need to point out that we have a good relationship with the forest service and the Blm ,as we have to deal with the same issues. Also we get help from the game department and groups such as rmef, turkey federation, mule deer assoc, that are stepping up to do some incredible projects! We...

    The Issue of Cattle on Public Lands

    Let's take a look at the cost of the difference between a private lease and a public grazing lease. Private leases at 10? the price is a great deal, usually the landowner provides good clean water, pasture with better stocking rates, care of the stock, good fencing, and better predator control...

    The Issue of Cattle on Public Lands

    This is a great question. Hunting fees, ATV fees, and fishing licenses go to the state. Mining, timber, outfitter and grazing fees go to the feds. the only recreation fees that go to the feds are if they need a special permit for a big event.

    The Issue of Cattle on Public Lands

    What Elk's said is well spoken as well. Taking a trip back in time, 125 years ago, my ancestors came in as trappers, married in to the Utes and made their entire living with the land. I am telling you this because of the stories about the real wildlife they told. There were no elk! The...

    The Issue of Cattle on Public Lands

    Alot of ranches have different off dates, example Grand Mesa has a off date around mid to late October, while on the Unc the off dates are mid November. And that's forest service, than Blm can go to February. It would be nice to have a second opinion monitor,to keep track of trends and...

    The Issue of Cattle on Public Lands

    Since we seem to be having a civil discussion about the same goals, let's come up with ideas for keeping hunting as part of the future. After attending more meetings this weekend a few things caught my attention. 1. The amount of people that are walking, biking, ATV riders, into the forest and...

    The Issue of Cattle on Public Lands

    Bill, we don't have any landlocked areas on our ranch, but, I know what you mean. I also hunt and see those animals across the private property. The land use is definitely changing, from when a rancher used to encourage you to drive the animals away from the fields to those places sold or leased...

    The Issue of Cattle on Public Lands

    Good observation, actually there are about 3000 less cattle up there than twenty years ago. However the change in the way they are managed by using a rotation grazing system, puts the cattle in smaller pastures for less time. Makes it look very compacted. And so happens that they are in those...

    I am hoping that you are asking for information pertaining to cattle and grazing on public lands, not just another slam the land owner and public lands rancher!

    Colorado unit 62

    The unit has high end genetics, just not great numbers of deer. For non-resident hunters it took only 4ppts for Muzzleloader, and 2ppts second, and 3ppts for third. If you have a lot of points, don't. The country has tons of oak brush and Aspen trees, The unit is very large, if you cannot find...

    Unit 61

    19 ppts minimum, to draw second season last year, thought going around this year is reduced amount of tags either this year or next. If that happens the points could take a leap, Muzzleloader already taking 22+ points, first special season 24+. Your decision may be more dependent upon your ability.

    A woman from Las Angeles, who is a tree hugging, liberal Democrat and a out spoken anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland near Colville,WA. There was a large tree on one of the high points in the tract. She wanted a good view of the natural slender of her land,so she started to climb the...

    Wolves in Colorado

    Now was this a Canadian wolf or a Mexican grey wolf? Both are being considered for possibly a (threatened species listing). The funny thing about it is their DNA is the same. I guess the only way to tell is one howls in french and the other in Spanish.

    Evidence of Sex

    Tool man With bulls or bucks, you can leave the head on, or skin everything and leave a patch of hide with a testicle attached to a quarter. I like to leave a piece of the penis attached to the same quarter that I put the tag on, that way the game warden sees both plus I don't leave any hide on...

    Landowner preference (voucher) proposed changes

    Colorado, Twenty odd years ago, when the objective was too have and maintain a herd of 9500 elk in units 61 and 62. Dow at that time cut tag numbers and restricted 61 to a limited draw area. Five years ago they had a count of nearly 14000. Instead of offering more tags they decided their...

    Landowner preference (voucher) proposed changes

    Colorado oak, Thanks for posting the bill. For the most part it looks like it addresses the issues that are being taken advantage of. 1. Giving vouchers to them that actually need them. 2. Allowing the hunters access to the private. 3.limiting licences to those that have split up large areas...

    Landowner preference (voucher) proposed changes

    I don't know what to take the most offence at,being called lazy and shameless or rich. Talk to the cpw and tell them to send money instead of vouchers for their wildlife damages and we will see how fast licence fees rise. They have the best gig anywhere, they hand out paper slips, instead of...

    Landowner preference (voucher) proposed changes

    Leonard, I could understand limiting landowner tags to PLO if the animals were there during the hunting season. Most of the game damages happen after the seasons are closed and we understand that building high fences might slow them down some, but it goes against our grain to watch animals...
